Shanghaiing

Just a, a quick programming note to Parker, uh, to Parker Sig and, and Rob Sig, and thank you again for, uh, supporting us and allowing Real America's Voice to come out and do stuff.

Just so you know, uh, they might be Shanghaiing, uh, [laughs] they might be Shanghaiing Producer Mo for the last night at sea.

And, and, you, you know, when, when you look at the men and women out here, again, it's, it's, you can see the eagerness, but you see the professionalism, and you see the professionalism even as they stand at attention when called to attention by the, uh, by the chief of the boat.

But when they, when they're called out to call to duty, they perform their duty admirably and with professionalism.

China tunnels, baby

... and all [laughs] the things, except we're not Shanghaiing people as of...

I haven't found anything.

But we might-

So-

Yeah

... is that technically Shanghaiing?

It, I guess it depends on the timeframe, right?

We'll take him aboard by force.

Shanghai? Well, all right.

Just let me know when you find him, and I'll arrange everything.

All right.

Until the last decade, almost anything, except the commonplace and the expected, might happen to a man on the waterfront.

The cheerful industry of Shanghai was reduced to a science.

A citizen taking a drink in one of the saloons, which hung out over the water, might be dropped through the floor into a boat, or he might drink with a stranger and wake up in the forecastle of a whaler bound for the Arctic.

Such an incident is the basis of Frank Norris's novel, Moran of the Lady Letty, and although the novel draws it pretty strong, it is not exaggerated.

He is saying that if Republicans win, he's going to give $5,000 checks to everybody.

Dude, you're Shanghai-ing the government.

You're straight up, that's like bribery almost.

You're trying to bribe.
